Or am I being unreasonable in not being sure he is right?
Background:
I work full time, about 9-6.30 most days, plus a commute of about 45 minutes each way. DH works longer hours, mostly at least 8-8 but often longer (eg getting to the office at 6am/working past midnight/working all night where needed).
Current issue:
We need a new car. We have looked at a lot, and concluded we will struggle to afford a brand new one or a demo model. We will therefore need to look at second hand. DH hates doing anything with his weekends that he doesn't consider fun. He does not consider that looking at cars constitutes fun (reasonably - neither do I). He has been a nightmare to persuade to garages at weekends to look at new cars and has complained vociferously. We are on a tight timeframe as we are expecting a baby, and can't fit it in our current car. I have pointed out (nicely) that looking at second hand cars is likely to occupy lots of weekends until we find the right car, and asked him not to moan about this. He has told me that because he works longer hours, his weekends are more precious than mine and so it is understandable that he complains about spending time doing things not deemed fun, while I take a more pragmatic approach.
Am I being U in finding this attitude a touch irritating? I do work full time, just not as long hours as him, and do most of the housework.
